I am issuing today the latest revisions of the budget for the fiscal years 1970 and 1971, as prepared for me by the Bureau of the Budget.
As I anticipated, price increases are beginning to slow down; as I forewarned, this has been accompanied by 'slowing pains.'
Progress is being made toward that goal.
By holding a tight rein on all others, we will succeed in meeting our overall spending target of approximately $198 billion.
